Maybe this will help to know what areas call it what.

See Map

Historically, the correct term is 'phosphate', which was defined by soda jerks as being a flavored syrup mixed with carbonated water. 'Soda's were what we today call floats. Therefore Soda is clearly WRONG and pop is more acceptable as a shortening of phosphate.

Hell, I have always used soda...

certainly in the pub i work at fizzy water is called soda, but we call everything soft drinks, altho i don't because it just sounds lame.
If it isnt a cola i just use the brand name. wewt 7up.
